Two New YA Fiction Books

The Boxer And The Spy by Robert B. Parker
Terry and his friends investigate the alleged suicide of a fifteen-year-old boxer-in-training. They learn quickly that asking question puts them in grave danger and that survival is going to be a fight.

Sunrise Over Fallujah by Walter Dean Myers
Robin "Birdy" Perry, a new army recruit from Harlem, is not quite sure why he enlisted, but he's sure where he's headed: Irag. Caught in the cross fire of a conflict, a country, and a culture he doesn't understand, Birdy soon finds that "winning" sometimes becomes just surviving--and that hero is a complicated word.
